The President, International Rescue Committee (IRC), Mr. David Miliband has promised to support the efforts of local leaders in Nigeria, particularly in the northeast where Boko Haram insurgency has denied millions of people's home and livelihood as a result of the over six years invasion of the states of Borno, Adamawa and Yobe.
Mr. David Miliband who led a team of humanitarians to Maiduguri, the Borno state capital on Monday, told Governor Kashim Shettima that they are determine to play their role as international organisation towards restoring human dignity in Borno by providing bridge that would enable the people to once again experience peace.
He said, it was a privileged for him to represent the humanitarian sector and to have the opportunity to work in Nigeria as part of many other Non Governmental Organisations that deem it appropriate to touch the lives of millions of people displaced by the insurgency in the northeast in a positive way.
Mr. David said, he admired the courage and determination of the governor for staying back during the dreadful times and for his demonstrated commitment to serve the people of Borno state. Adding that, with experience in over 30 countries in the world, the IRC would bring its experiences in dealing with the situation in Borno and the northeast in general.
Speaking while receiving the IRC President at the Maiduguri Government House, the state Governor, Kashim Shettima said, the people of Borno state would remain greatful for the show of love and support, particularly in this time of need.
The governor described the situation as a time capsule, stating that, some parts of Borno state have remained desolated in 2015 as it were in 1900.
"I have a picture of Dikwa town taken in 1900 and when you juxtapose the picture with the one taken in 2015, you would not see much difference. 100 years ago, 80 percent of our people are living in a corn-stalk houses with thatched roof and even now 90 percent of our people in Dikwa are living the same way, except for the Shehu's Palace, a bank, local government secretariat and some politician houses."
He said, women in Borno constitute the bulk of the population, yet they remain the most marginalized and most oppressed as they bore the brunt of the insurgency.
"Our women most of the times are the ones taking care of the children orphaned as a result of the Boko Haram Crises and they represent the poorest of the poor in our society. I believe we are in a unique position to change their situation by empowering them."

Let's Have a Word is David Soares's attempt to make the Lisbon scene spill the beans.
Poet, hip-hop head, and spoken-word artist Gerald Mugwenhi, aka Synik, started scribbling rhymes in his notebook while still in high school in Zimbabwe. First, he emulated some of his friends and idols, at the time coming from the flood of American hip-hop on both TV and radio, spearheaded by Tupac Shakur. But Mugwenhi would soon develop his own voice and take to stages wherever he could find them to become a promising member of the Zimbabwean hip-hop scene. His album Syn City (2012) has a plethora of guests from that scene, and the various collaborations he has done since then all bear witness to his own, very distinctive, style.
Where does the moniker Synik come from?
I don't know, to be honest. I had a moniker that I wanted, but it was taken already. I was living in the second biggest city in Zimbabwe, Bulawayo, and there was a crew with that name, so I thought I can't go with that.
What brought you to Lisbon?
It's a bit of a long story, but, at the end of the day, I wanted to leave home and Lisbon was far enough from anything I'd known to push me to grow, and it was close enough to people I loved and who were not back home. My mum lives in the UK, and other people live elsewhere, now it's a little bit closer to them.
It was something that pretty much just happened. But I'm very happy to be here. It is not an obvious choice, but it is a good choice, language-wise maybe there might be a bit of an issue, but it's cool for me because I also want to learn the language, even though I've been slacking (laughs). But in terms of the place, it's a beautiful country and Lisbon is a beautiful city. I didn't have connections here but I made them as soon as I arrived.
Your lyrics are laden with social activism, initially, in a Zimbabwean context, Syn City is quite centered on Harare and has a very Zimbabwean feel to it (use of mbiras, ngomas, etc). Does Zimbabwe still give you the same inspiration in the distance?
That's actually a good question, because like you said the whole idea around Syn City was me telling my story from the perspective of where I was in that particular point in time. It happened to be in this city, so the creation of the album was built around me telling stories about how I came to the city, how the city shaped me and also different ideas that came up as well. Now, I think the city inspires me in as much as it will always be a part of me, but there's also a bit of a disconnect now because I'm experiencing different things, so I think now my subject matter is kind of changing.
Have you transposed this source of inspiration to Lisbon?
Yeah, definitely. For example, there's a song that I was asked to feature on. It's a band from here called Fatzilla, so they basically just gave me a beat and they just asked me to do something. When I listened to the beat, immediately I was picturing one of my favorite spots in the city, which is by Cais do Sodré by the river. It was basically just about that: coming back from work, going to that spot, the usual vibe that I experience there. So now, there's a lot that I'm experiencing in the city and it's just coming out in the lyrics depending on the music as well.
What do you miss most about Zimbabwe?
It's the people — I think we're a chilled bunch — and the vibes. There are certain spaces or events that I would go to where there's just a vibe and cool people. And, of course, the obvious: certain individuals, ones who would be like, "Man, you should come and check this out." And sadza (laughs).
How do you see the recent changes there? Hopeful?
There's that disconnect that I was talking about, because I've also been getting it through other people like friends and family back home and how they interpret what's been going on. For me, the whole thing with Mugabe leaving and Mnangagwa stepping in, it really seemed like a continuation of the same kind of system because, I mean, he's been a part of the system for as long as the system was there, basically: the whole liberation movement and Comrades and all of that.
And so, when he came in, there was this whole talk about change, these progressive ideas, but I think on the ground — and this is what I get from my friends back home — not a lot has changed. People can't access money in the bank, unemployment is still crazy, services are still bad. So, from that perspective, I don't think there was a lot of change that was experienced. And now there were the elections. It's always been a polarized kind of topic, you're either for those guys or those other guys, and I know of a lot of people who were hopeful for the opposition and then things went sideways.
Yeah, I think in general I'm optimistic. I don't think things can become any worse (laughs). I hope not. I am hopeful. There should be some positive things.
You sing in English, but also in your mother tongue Shona. How does the language used influence the content of your lyrics?
I think it does. I find myself limited in terms of themes that I only want to discuss when I'm rapping in my mother tongue (Shona), mainly because the education system is in English. For me, the whole thing with rapping in English is probably coming from how I consume media as well. If some of my topics are political or international themes, I don't really consume those kinds of themes in my mother language. In my mother language, I can mainly just have a talk with people in the streets or whatever, but I wouldn't be able to express certain ideas, and this is probably just a facet of how I learned and, yes, how I consume media basically.
So, in Shona, what kind of topics would be more prevalent?
Hmm, that's a good question. I actually don't have a lot of songs in Shona. Very few. Like on the album Syn City, I think there was one song that was completely in Shona, it featured another guy from back home who predominantly raps in Shona (Chenjerere), but the idea behind the song was, as Syn City was about coming into Harare and all of that, you're leaving the rural areas, going to the big cities, and your grandpa sits you down and says, "Look, you're going into the big city, be careful about this and that, watch out for that, stay focused, work hard," that kind of thing, so I think it fitted what I wanted to talk about in terms of the whole theme of the album, and it worked out.
But mainly, I put Shona in my music in as much as I conversate normally, which is a mix of English and Shona. In normal conversations, it's a mix. Sometimes a hook is in Shona, maybe the verses are in English, or maybe I'll put a chorus or something in Shona.
I read somewhere that you defined your political views as Ubuntunism. Would that be a typo? Tell me about that philosophy.
Really? It's nice, that could be a thing, though (laughs). Yeah, it's Ubuntuism. It's a really great philosophy, how we define "I Am" because "We Are." You don't exist as an individual but as a part of a community, as a part of something greater. I think walking through the world with that kind of mindset is a good way to look at life.
There's a song about Ubuntunism there though….
Do you have any influences outside the world of hip-hop?
I listen to a lot of things, not just hip-hop. But, in terms of things that influence me… I'm trying to think… creatively, a lot of influences have come from the hip-hop world, from when I was a kid, which were mainly American: Tupac, Biggie, Snoop, Drake, the Wu-Tang, which is what I had access to. But since then, and with access to more material through the internet, it's broadened a lot. But, in terms of being a listener, I listen to pretty much everything. New soul, a lot of new soul.
You never know, it might actually seep into the creative process, without you even noticing….
Yeah, definitely, even as a hip-hop artist I find the type of pieces that I gravitate towards are more soulful, jazzy. The current project that I have with Karlos Rotsen is quite influenced by that, by listening to diverse kinds of music that's not just hip-hop — lots of soul, jazz, etc.
Where do you go to see live music in Lisbon?
I'm usually at Anjos70, that's mainly for the jam session. And I like B.Leza, I've been there for a few shows, I really liked them.
But one of the things that I really love about Lisbon, and it's something that happened yesterday, you're just walking in the street and you just bump into someone busking and playing some really good music and you're like (makes a jaw-dropping face), you can't take your eyes off anymore.
Even way back before I moved here, I was listening to Sara Tavares, someone introduced me to her music. I didn't know what it means, I'm slowly starting to get what it means (laughs). Apart from her, I probably need to check out more of her music, but I just discovered this one song and I was like, "Wow, what is this?" Her name is Carolina Deslandes, I walked into a mall and I heard this song and I had to Shazam it. I probably need to check out more, but I think she's dope based on that one song (laughs).
Let's have a word then: tell me your favorite Portuguese word.
I'm probably going to give you one that you get a lot: I like saudade, obviously because there's no translation for it and it conveys such a strong emotion. I wasn't expecting that question (laughs).
Any other? It can be slang, it can even be rude, there's no censorship.
Really? I've been censoring myself this whole time (laughs).
I'm still figuring it out. There's the stuff that I'm trying to work on with Karlos Rotsen. We'll see what that is, so far we've just been performing, but ideally, we're going to try and see if we can create some fresh material and put it out there.
Any follow-up to Syn City?
That's actually a question I get a lot from people back home. We kinda took the theme, the whole idea, the imagery from Sin City, the movie. I do want to work on my second project, I actually pretty much wrote it all and then I created some of the beats myself, and then I saw some other beats from other people. It's just been a little bit strange trying to get back into a space of creating that music six years after Syn City in a different place. Back home, it was so much easier just to link up with producers that I know and just kick it with musicians. Now, it was more, "Yeah I've got these ideas, but where am I going to record them? Who's going to play?" Things like that. I've been meeting people here and there. There was one guy that I approached who I thought might be good to produce the whole project and piece it together for me. It's just figuring out the process. Because Syn City had one process, we were just chilling at this park and musicians would come and create lines or whatever, just add and build on, and I'd write lyrics and ideas. Now the process is going to be different.
Also, I wrote some of the songs a while back so I'm not sure if I'm still thinking that way, it's something that happens when you create and you don't put it out right away.
Will there be acoustic guitar on it? I know you play a bit.
Oh yeah (laughs). You know, on Syn City, there was a few where we were goofing around and I built ideas of the songs off stuff that I was playing, but I think on the album, it probably won't be me (laughs).
Features here and there. Some people have reached out. Apart from the Fatzilla stuff that I mentioned earlier, there's a project that I've already done with this guy called Jazzafari. It was called Jazza Experiment, we did a few songs, we recorded quite a bunch of material with Lana Gasparotti and put out one EP, it has five tracks, I think it's quite accessible on social media.
Synik will be the very first guest of the Freetanic: Live Hip-Hop and Jazz Sessions at Titanic Sur Mer, on September 6th, do not miss out!

I'm obsessed with Aveda products and I have naturally wavy hair. The Aveda Be Curly™ Shampoo smells great, but it doesn't really balance the natural curl my hair has. I feel it's a good shampoo to have for thicker hair, but doesn't define my curls too much.
This stuff smells so nice. I frequently die my ends fashion colors and this does a good job of not wrecking and fading them too quickly. The big salon style bottles last me over half a year, so it's not unreasonably priced. I feel good about the natural products and my light blonde hair feels healthy without being brassy!
I use to be very sceptical of shampoo and conditioners which have a hefty price tag, especially if they are small in size, however this product is actually worth a go! Does a great job at nourishing and hydrating from the roots to ends.

Regulatory News - Americas
Trump administration announces ban on e-cigarette flavors, except menthol
Jan 2 (Reuters) - The Trump administration on Thursday announced a ban on some e-cigarette flavors to curb rising teenage use of vaping products, allowing menthol and tobacco flavors to remain on the market.
The flavor ban applies to e-cigarettes such as the ones made by Juul Labs Inc, which use disposable cartridges filled with liquid nicotine and are often sold in convenience stores. (bit.ly/37Fcwwj) The U.S. Department of Health and Human Services (HHS) said companies that do not stop the manufacture, distribution and sale of flavored cartridge-based e-cigarettes, other than tobacco or menthol, within 30 days risk enforcement actions from the Food and Drug Administration.
"The United States has never seen an epidemic of substance use arise as quickly as our current epidemic of youth use of e-cigarettes," HHS Secretary Alex Azar said.
"HHS is taking a comprehensive, aggressive approach to enforcing the law passed by Congress, under which no e-cigarettes are currently on the market legally," Azar added.

Bush hid the facts
17 December 2010 Richard
This headline does not, in fact, refer to the Bush Administration's conduct vis-a-vis the Iraq war (as accurate as it may be). Instead, according to Wikipedia, it is "a common name for a bug present in the function IsTextUnicode of Microsoft Windows, which causes a file of text encoded in Windows-1252 or similar encoding to be interpreted as if it were UTF-16LE, resulting in mojibake."
In other words, when you type "Bush hid the facts" in a new Notepad document, save it, close it, and reopen it, the characters "畢桳栠摩琠敨映捡獴" inexplicably appear instead. A rather strange error, and certainly one that will unnerve conspiracy theorists! Try it out for yourself, if you're using Windows NT, Windows 2000, or Windows XP (the error doesn't occur in other versions of Windows). According to Wikipedia, other text strings that have similar effects include "this app can break", "acre vai pra globo", and "aaaa aaa aaa aaaaa"

Scientists have successfully trapped antimatter. The next step? Interstellar warp drives.
The greatest "order pizza to a stranger's house" prank in history
23 October 2010 Richard
… Occurred nearly 200 years ago, in London. From Wikipedia:
The Berners Street Hoax was perpetrated by Theodore Hook in the City of Westminster, London, in 1810.
On 27 November, at five o'clock in the morning, a sweep arrived to
sweep the chimneys of 54 Berners Street, the home of Mrs Tottenham. The
maid who answered the door informed him that no sweep had been
requested, and that his services were not required, and the disappointed
tradesman went on his way. A few moments later another sweep presented
himself at the door, then another, and another, 12 in all. After the
last of the sweeps had been sent away, a fleet of carts carrying large
deliveries of coal began to arrive, followed by a series of cakemakers
delivering large wedding cakes, then doctors, lawyers, vicars and
priests summoned to minister to someone in the house they had been told
was dying. Fishmongers, shoemakers, and over a dozen pianos were among
the next to appear, along with "six stout men bearing an organ".
Dignitaries, including the Governor of the Bank of England, the Duke of York, the Archbishop of Canterbury and the Lord Mayor of the City of London
also arrived. The narrow streets soon became severely congested with
disgruntled tradesmen and onlookers. Deliveries and visits continued
until the early evening, bringing a large part of London to a
standstill.[1]
Hook had bet his friend Samuel Beazley
that he could transform any house in London into the most talked-about
address in a week. To achieve his goal he had sent out 4,000 letters
purporting to be Mrs Tottenham, requesting deliveries, visitors, and
assistance. Hook had stationed himself in the house directly opposite
54 Berners Street, and he and his friend had spent an amusing day
watching the chaos unfold.[1]
You really can't top that.
Breathtaking photographs and videos of the sun

I'll keep this brief – check out this amazing NASA footage and high-resolution photographs of the sun.
See also, the Coconut Crab.
12 March 2010 Richard
Speaking of crabs, check out the Coconut Crab – the world's largest terrestrial arthropod. The Coconut Crab is indigenous to tropical islands throughout much of the Pacific, and can grow to immense proportions: specimens 6 feet long weighing 30 pounds have been recorded. The Coconut Crab's pincers, too, are extremely strong – they can (naturally) crack coconuts, and their front claws can lift up to 64 pounds.
The Coconut Crab, according to Wikipedia,
has a special position in the culture of many human societies which
share its range. The coconut crab is admired for its strength, and it is
said that villagers use this animal to guard their coconut plantations.
The coconut crab, especially if it is not yet fully grown, is also sold
as a pet,
for example, in Tokyo.[35]
The cage must be strong enough that the animal
cannot use its powerful claws to escape.
Interestingly, the Coconut Crab is also known as the "robber crab," because "some coconut crabs are rumored to steal shiny items such as pots
and silverware from houses and tents."
There's not much more that I can say about these fascinating creatures. If you're not convinced that they are amazing, please see for yourself:
Look at this crab.
Its scientific name is Dromia personata, and it typically lives in underwater caves. Creepy, isn't it? Sinister, you might even say. There's something menacing about it's gaze.
A brief but satisfying roundup

Hello everyone. Following are some strange, interesting, and bizarre things from around the internet:
What's left behind when glaciers melt?

100 Russian tanks were found abandoned in the Ural Mountains. This creeps me out, to be honest – does it have anything to do with the Dyatlov Pass incident?

The races are shown on a huge screen while an enthusiastic and exuberant Bookie will commentate on the races and 'gee' everybody up into parting with their money. Bookie's runners dressed in jockey silks will wander between the guests taking their bets and placing them at the Tote desks around the room. Pay out desks will be set up at the front of the room to create the racing atmosphere.
The form of each horse is described at the start of each race to give the 'punters' a chance to weigh up the odds and make an educated bet, every opportunity to create an authentic feel will be taken and guests will feel they are really having a night at the races. At the end of the evening all the money is banked and totalled. Prizes can be awarded to the team or individual who has made the most money.
Kaleidoscope will provide all AV equipment, Bookie, Tote staff and prizes for the event.
" At the Antal International Global Conference we had over 200 hundred delegates from 28 countries attending, Kaleidoscope Events had each and everyone of them enjoying themselves at a fantastic horse race evening. So I would just like to say a big thank you to the team for being such fun to work with, for the brilliant rosettes you had made up in our company colours and also for a all round brilliant event."

PepsiCo India said that as part of sustainable packaging solutions, it will pilot 100 percent compostable, plant-based packaging for its popular snacks products, Lays and Kurkure in India. The company also said it plans to reduce salt content in 75 percent of its snacks portfolio by 2025 as part of a strategy toward offering healthier food, reported PTI.
PepsiCo India said it has already introduced upgraded variants of its Lay's snacks with reduced sodium in different flavors.
PepsiCo India Vice President, Snacks Category Jagrut Kotecha said that in line with PepsiCo's "performance with purpose goals 2025," the company is working to reduce the impact of its packaging on environment and increase recycling of plastic waste.
"The first step towards the actualization of this journey is the resizing of packaging of our brands Lay's and Kurkure. This will significantly help us in reducing our carbon footprint," he said.
India is among the first to pilot this packaging.

Q: Finding the address of first and last byte of a given index within an array I'm wondering whether my answer to the following question is correct:
Suppose you have an "int" array declared as: int myArray[20]. The first byte in
the array has the address 1010. What are the addresses of the first and last bytes of myArray[13]? The size of int is 4 bytes.
That means that each index within this array takes up 4 bytes correct? If that's the case, myArray[13] would start 4x13 = 52 bytes after myArray[0]? Meaning that the first byte would be located at address 1062 and the last byte would be 1065?

A: They're
static_cast<char*>(&myarray[13])

and
static_cast<char*>(&myarray[14]) - 1

no?
Yes, your calculations are correct. Be careful with your assertion that sizeof(int) is 4, though: I couldn't tell whether you were pointing out a proven fact of your platform, or whether you thought this was a universal constant (which it isn't).

The Port of St Petersburg is very centrally located, not far from the heart of the historic city. The challenges there on traffic control and environmental topics therefore resemble those in the Port of Hamburg. With increasingly large vessels being handled, throughput per ship and call in the port is also increasing. Just how the two partners are to control freight traffic in their ports more efficiently, at the same time contributing towards relief of the environment, was discussed at the Fourth Hamburg Workshop in St Petersburg: 'Digitalization in the port: Best-practice examples from Hamburg' on 14 February 2019.
Invited by Port of Hamburg Marketing (HHM) and Baltica Trans, an HHM member, more than 100 participants attended the workshop, which was part-funded by the Hamburg administration. They were unanimous in seeing digitalization in the traffic control and logistics field as offering a host of opportunities for controlling traffic flows more efficiently, and better shaping working processes, in the port and port traffic. The digitalization strategy pursued in Hamburg and other ports for a number of years has produced some initial approaches and successful applications. The focus here is on Hamburg Port Authority's SmartPort initiative, supplemented by numerous progressive solutions from companies in the logistics sector.
After a welcome speech from Dr Torsten Sevecke, Under-Secretary in Hamburg's Ministry of Economics, Transport and Innovation, Jens Meier, CEO Hamburg Port Authority (HPA), spoke on the prospects for the 'Digital Transformation as a Competitive Advantage for the Port of Hamburg', introducing Russian participants to practical examples and future projects from the Port of Hamburg.
'How digitalization facilitates port partnerships', Gerald Hirt, CEO of Hamburg Vessel Coordination Center.
Speakers and participants then joined in a discussion chaired by Ingo Egloff, Joint CEO of Port of Hamburg Marketing.
Official and port business representatives from Hamburg, along with Natalia Kapkajewa, head of the Port of Hamburg Representative Office in St Petersburg, expressed their satisfaction over the extremely positive response from those attending. The networking session after the workshop offered participants ample opportunity for forging contacts and exchanging experience.
"Many years of excellent cooperation between the two port cities forms a splendid basis for continuing to organize workshops on logistics, environmental and IT topics in future. With the presentation on interesting best-practice solutions from Hamburg, we are also promoting a meeting of minds between experts from the two cities and facilitating the transfer of know-how between Hamburg and St Petersburg," said Natalia Kapkajewa.
In 2018 a total of around 349,000 TEU were handled in the Port of Hamburg's container traffic with Russian ports. A total of 15 liner sevices link Hamburg with the ports in St Petersburg, Bronka, Ust-Luga, Kaliningrad, Archangel and Murmansk.
Hamburg and St Petersburg are linked by many years of city twinning, a relationship also boosted by the friendship between the two ports. For instance, representatives of the two cities and ports regularly engage in dialogue at specialist events, port receptions and exchange visits.

Well, obviously "Don't Stop" came the closest. "Think About Me" is her most underrated. But to me her best single was "You Make Loving Fun", with all that organ vamping and the blissful harmonies. It's #1 to me "Little Lies" would be a next logical choice to me. I love "Say You Love Me" but I can understand it not being a #1 record.
I've heard it a lot too in many store. Hate to break it to you but you're not getting FM signs.
Little Lies should have gone to #1, it was all over the radio and MTV at the time.
As Long As You Follow is so beautiful... I was crushed it didn't do better on the charts. Same thing with Save Me. Such a great song and was the last time MTV played a FM video until they did the Dance.
But if it happens at a significant moment, that should mean something. Like, if you're about to sign a contract and an FM song pops on the radio.
I remember I spent HOURS one Christmas Eve trying to put together this Barbie camper and the camper had a working radio. So, I finally got it together and I put the batteries in and the minute I turned it on, Little Lies blared out of the tiny speakers.
The stupid entertainment center in my car defaults to a radio station I did not select and do not like, every time I leave the car and get back in. I get so angry that I change the station immediately. Yesterday I got in and Wanna Be Starting Something was playing and I listened and I said, "I'm going to turn as soon as this song ends, unless another good song comes on after." Don't Stop was the next song.
I despised You Light Up My Life, and I still do. Whenever that stinker of a song came on the radio, I would change the station so fast that I could've broken the tuning knob.


Home to the world's third-largest population, with over 318 million people, the USA includes both densely populated cities with sprawling suburbs and vast, naturally beautiful areas. It would be impossible to create a list of all things not to miss in the US, but this page will remain a work in progress.
Statue of Liberty – Located in New York, the Statue of Liberty is perhaps the most famous icon of America. It was a gift of friendship from the people of France to the United States and is recognized as a symbol of freedom and democracy.
Grand Canyon – One of the world's seven natural wonders, the sheer intensity of light and shadow at sunrise or sunset, make the Grand Canyon a must visit. The three rims of the Grand Canyon are: South, North and West. They offer quite different experiences and are rarely visited on the same trip because they lie hundreds of miles and hours of driving apart.
Yosemite National Park – From the waterfall-striped granite walls to the skyscraping giant sequoias, Yosemite National Park is awe-inspiring.
New Orleans – New Orleans is one of the world's most fascinating cities. Steeped in a history of influences from Europe, the Caribbean, Africa and beyond, it's home to a truly unique melting pot of culture, food and music. Mardi Gras is about music, parades, picnics, floats and excitement. It's one big holiday in New Orleans and you'll see a lot of crazy costumes, kids everywhere, and both locals and visitors having a great time.
The Everglades – There is no wilderness in America quite like the Everglades. The Everglades are a combination of wetlands, swamp, a lake, a river, a prairie, and a grassland all twisted together. It is the habitat for numerous rare and endangered species like the manatee, American crocodile, and the elusive Florida panther.
California Redwoods National and State Parks – Stroll alongside the world's tallest trees, vast prairies, oak woodlands, wild riverways, and nearly 40 miles of pristine coastline. California Redwoods National and State Parks are a mosaic of wildlife diversity and cultural traditions.
The White House – In Washington DC, The White House is the official residence and office of the President of the United States. It was built between 1792 and 1800 and first used by President John Adams. After the 9/11 attacks, it has become more difficult to visit The White House and today tours are available only for groups of 10 or more and must be requested up to six months in advance through your member of Congress or your country's US Ambassador.
Denali National Park – The Denali National Park and Preserve is located in Interior Alaska and contains Mount McKinley, the highest mountain in North America. The park protects an incredible wilderness area that contains grizzly bears, caribou, moose, wolves, and numerous other creatures.
Yellowstone – Yellowstone National Park was the world's first national park, set aside to preserve the vast number of geysers, hot springs, and other thermal areas, as well as to protect the incredible wildlife and rugged beauty of the area. Yellowstone lies on top of a gigantic hotspot where hot, molten mantle rock rises towards the surface. The park contains half of all the world's known geothermal features and black bears, grizzly bears, deer, elk, bison, and wolves can all be found within the park borders.
Electricity – Electricity in the United States is provided to consumers in the form of 120V, 60Hz alternating current.
Money Matters – The currency in the United States is the US dollar. Tipping is a big thing in the States and you'll be expected to give 15% or more in cafes, restaurants, bars, and hotels. Taxi drivers will expect the same. In general, the banks are open from Monday-Friday from 8.30 to 5 pm. Credit Cards are widely accepted. Travelers checks are accepted and you can exchange these for cash at any bank, provided you have your passport for ID.
Visa-Free Entry – Citizens of the 38 countries within the Visa Waiver Program, as well as Canadians, Mexicans living on the border (holding a Border Crossing Card), Bermudians, Caymanian, and Turks and Caicos Islanders (with British Overseas Territories passports) do not require advance visas for entry into the United States. For Canadians and Bermudians, the entry period is normally for a maximum of six months. However, entry may still be refused on the basis of a criminal record. Those who have criminal records should seek out a US embassy for advice on whether they need a visa. For travellers under the Visa Waiver Program, the entry period is strictly limited to 90 days. Attempting to enter through any other port of entry requires a valid visa.


OK, maybe Jon Farleigh only managed to get the back of my eyeball (when I accidentally sucked his tongue up my nose, as he and Dewi tried to lick my face off!). Nevertheless, that's what I get for lying flat on my back to get these pictures of me for the "Meet the Bloggers" hop sweeping through pet blog-land this week (2013).
1. If you had to transform into a fruit or vegetable, what would you choose to be?
A strawberry, because they wear their seeds on the outside.
2. If you could choose one other breed of animal to have as a pet (hypothetically, of course), what would it be?
A cow, and I would call her Sugar Plum, milk her and churn my own butter.
3. What is the most embarrassing thing you've ever done?
In July of the summer between 4th and 5th grade, I laughed so hard I peed my pants sitting in a restaurant booth with my three younger* siblings. Specifically, on a family vacation in rural Pennsylvania, having lunch in a Friendly's restaurant full of older couples eating in complete, dreadful silence. Yeah, silence, until someone (not to be named) farted like a trumpet off a vinyl booth seat and I laughed so hard I slid under the table, cried in silent, side-splitting agony, and undammed a warm, yellow river all over myself. But the worst** was having to do the shimmy of shame (my brother playing wingman behind me with a strategically placed tray) to get out the front door. Damn vinyl seats.
Anything else you all want to know?
OMD number 3 made us spit tea all over the keyboard. Have a fabulous Friday.
Love your twist on Meet the Blogger! And your advice for taking good selfies is spot-on - everything's gotta fall back into place! :0) You look lovely!
Well, at least you didn't shart yourself! That must have been a loud fart!
Well, considering the place was silent, except for some loud chewing, yes, it was. :) Also, for the record, shart stories are only funny when they happen in movies!
Thanks for the advice on the selfies! Nice to get to know you a little.
You're always one to blaze your own trail :) Thanks for making this Meet the Bloggers hop fun and interesting!
Dang. I wish I thought of that for my pic. But I'm not sure the pain of having 4 dogs and a cat or two mobbing me would be worth it.Thanks for joining in the Blog Hop!
Thanks for stopping by and leaving your calling cards, everyone! I read every one of *your* posts before I wrote this (lurker = me); that's why I decided to give myself a gravity face lift. :) I'm more comfortable blending into the dogs' shadows.
Oh my god, I laughed so hard I almost peed a warm yellow river in my pants. Thank you for the laugh, for being so honest, for coming up with your own amazing questions and lastly (but not leastly) for joining the blog hop!
You're so funny. I bet your friends love hanging out with you. Nice to learn some more about you.
Holy crap. Only you would think to take your selfie from the floor with the dogs getting in the way. I adore you.
Next year, maybe we should let you write the questions. I would love to see what sort of things we'd find out about everyone then!
OMD, this is too funny!! You're so lucky, instead of helping me hide my shame with a tray MY brother would have jumped on the table & screamed "look! my sister peed herself"
Thanks, Cathy! And you make a great point about brothers...;-), I guess I was lucky that my younger one (older one=another story) and I got along really well!

One LinkedIn Connection + ECRM = Millions in Business 4/22/2019
The LinkedIn connection with Pearl Resourcing's Emily Page started it all
If you're not in the LInkedIn game, you're missing out on a TON of opportunities.
Long gone are the days of the platform merely being a repository of resumes. Over the past couple of years, it's evolved into a powerful B2B content and networking platform, and each day increasing numbers of retail, foodservice and pharmacy buyers are regularly active on it, as well as those suppliers that serve these groups. And not only are they making great connections on it through posting/sharing content and engaging with each other -- they are also getting business from it. Lots of business.
Case in point: from just one LinkedIn connection I made last year -- along with the catalyst of ECRM's programs -- three suppliers and one packaging design firm received new business (including a seven-figure deal for one of the suppliers), three retailers will soon be adding innovative products to their shelves, ECRM received three supplier registrations and had three amazing educational sessions, and a dozen pieces of content were generated, as well as several solid ongoing relationships between all of the parties involved.
It all started when Emily Page, CEO of packaging design and product development firm Pearl Resourcing, messaged me on LinkedIn regarding one of my posts. This led to a regular dialogue which we then took offline with a phone call, during which we explored ways in which we could collaborate on content around packaging design, an important topic for our audience of buyers and suppliers of food and consumer packaged goods.
Once I was connected to Emily on LinkedIn, I saw her post in my feed showing the newly-launched Jocko White Tea, for which she had designed the packaging for Jocko Willink, one of the owners of the brand. For those of you who don't know Jocko, he is a former Navy Seal Commander, NY Times bestselling author, co-host of the extremely popular Jocko Podcast. I've been a fan of Jocko's since he published his first book, Extreme Ownership: How U.S. Navy Seals Lead and Win, back in 2015. Emily sent me a sample of the tea, which I saw was certified organic. By chance, ECRM's Natural, Organic & Specialty Foods EPPS was a couple of months away, and it was going to be held in San Diego, Jocko's home city.
Long story short, Jocko White Tea participated in our program as a supplier, and Jocko gave a presentation on leadership at that session to a standing-room only audience of 140 people, plus I was also able to do a video interview with Jocko and Emily about the Jocko White Tea products. As a result of its participation, the company already has deals with two grocery chains.
During that session, when Jocko learned that ECRM also had a Vitamin, Weight Management & Sports Nutrition EPPS coming up in Phoenix, he offered to participate in that session, too, this time with a nutritional supplement company in which he is a stakeholder, Origin USA.
He delivered another great presentation on leadership, and the Origin USA team of Peter Roberts and Brian Littlefield, as well as Emily (who was there to lend a hand) met with almost 80 retailers. Once again, I did a video interview with Jocko – this time along with Brian, who runs the nutritional supplement division of Origin, called Origin Labs. The result of its participation? A seven-figure purchase order from a major national retailer.
While in Phoenix, Emily and I began collaborating on content, filming some video interviews in which Emily provided tips on packaging design, videos that we both published on our blogs and LinkedIn pages. The response to these videos led to our inviting Emily to speak about packaging design at our Store Brands Leadership Summit earlier this month. To help promote her session, she wrote a column on how to leverage color-blocking that we posted on our site and shared on LinkedIn.
Jocko Speaking at ECRM's Vitamin, Weight Management & Sports Nutrition EPPS
My interview with Emily & Jocko - Jocko White Tea
My interview with Brian & Jocko - Origin Labs
This column landed Emily several new clients, who reached out to her via LinkedIn to help them with their packaging design. One of these clients was looking to expand their distribution, as well, and so Emily recommended ECRM, and they ended up registering for our Store Brands Foods session.
Finally, at our Store Brands Leadership Summit, Emily delivered a very well-received presentation on store brands packaging design, and we shot several more videos together (see below).
What's more, we've all further developed our relationships – me, Emily from Pearl Resourcing, Peter Roberts and Brian Littlefield from Origin USA – and are in touch regularly, both on LinkedIn, but also offline via phone and in-person (I've since seen Peter, Brian and Jocko when they visited New York in November, and will see them again at Origin's Jiu Jitsu Immersion Camp this summer, and Emily and I chat almost every day).
All of this, mind you, came from just ONE LinkedIn connection: that one message Emily sent to me about one piece of content I posted. Just think of how much business can come from working all of your connections in this way. It's not difficult. Just keep these things in mind:
Post regularly on LinkedIn. There is no secret here. In order to build a following for your brand (whether it's a company or your personal brand) you have to post and share content that delivers value for your intended audience. Lots of it. Regularly. Several times a day if possible. This includes sharing content from other LinkedIn users, as well, but try to include as much original content as possible.
Build your network. Connect with everyone you engage with during the course of doing business. Anyone you meet in person, have a conversation with, or exchange emails with, if they are relevant to your business, should be added to your network. The larger your network, the more people will see, like, an share your content and increase the exposure of your content.
Engage with other LinkedIn users. Provide thoughtful comments on relevant posts; this can create a dialogue on the topic with other like-minded users and expand your network.
Reach out to users. This is one area in which you need to be careful. While most users love receiving messages thanking them for posting a piece of content, or to start up a direct conversation on a topic of mutual interest, nobody likes being spammed. Don't start off by throwing your products and services at someone. Start a conversation first.
What I recommend is that you treat LinkedIn as you would any in-person networking function. Engage with people, share your thoughts and opinions, and ask for others' thoughts and opinions. Build relationships on the platform, and look to bring them offline and in-person whenever possible. And when you do, involve them in your content, as well.
LinkedIn is a gold mine of opportunity, but like a gold mine, you have to work it to extract the value.
And, of course, don't forget to follow ECRM on LinkedIn!
Emily and I discuss how it all happened...

it's getting to be that time of year when preparing slow roasted meats or dishes in the slow cooker sound wonderful. this recipe was inspired by a dish we saw on diners, drive-ins & dives from a fantastic looking mexican place in cleveland - slow cooked brisket, shredded and served as yummy tacos! and it's the perfect dish to smother with this roasted tomatillo salsa.
excited to go apple picking with a friend from out of town this week and to check out this farm stand. also had an amazing day wandering among sculptures and beautiful fall colors in the hudson valley here - definitely worth the drive out of the city!
preheat oven to 300 degrees F. in a small bowl, combine coffee, salt, jalapeno powder and chile powder and mix. rub all over brisket to coat well.
heat a large dutch oven over medium high heat and add olive oil. sear meat on each side until nicely browned. add remaining ingredients plus 2 cups water and bring to a simmer. cover and transfer pot to oven and cook for 3 hours or until tender. remove meat from broth and set aside until cool enough to shred. strain liquid and return to pot. simmer over medium heat until slightly reduced. stir shredded meat into broth and keep warm.
heat olive oil in a medium saute pan over medium high heat. add peppers, onion and garlic and saute 10 minutes or until softened. stir in heavy cream and oregano.
for each taco, top a warm corn tortilla with about 1/4 cup meat, a few tablespoons of stewed peppers and onions, salsa, cheese and avocado. enjoy!
Looks so good. I love tacos, and avo. Can't wait to make this. Yum :) So glad you posted this.

HyunA & Pentagon's E'Dawn officially admit they've been dating for 2 years!
Yesterday on August 2, Triple H's HyunA (26) and E'Dawn (24, also of Pentagon) denied rumors that they were dating.
However, on the late evening of August 2, HyunA and E'Dawn held an interview with Yeonhap News, where they officially admitted to their relationship.
First, the two revealed:
"We know that we will constantly be tagged onto each other's names from now on, but still, we thought that it would be hard to look straight into the eyes of our fans once we got on stage. That's why we wanted to be honest at least to our fans who love and watch over us, and then go in front of them with our confidence and joy on stage."
HyunA continued:
"I got to know E'Dawn when he was a trainee and we performed on stage together, and then we started dating in May of 2016."
Back in 2015, E'Dawn performed a stage of HyunA's "Roll Deep" instead of BTOB's Ilhoon.
"Our relationship continued as we made music together. We were very careful... Even though he's not in the credits, there are many portions in my solo album where E'Dawn helped me with the details." HyunA continued.
HyunA stressed that the reason she decided to go public with her relationship for the first time since her debut, was to be as honest as possible to those who "appreciate our decision". E'Dawn also added:
"It may not be the most realistic, but I thought that admitting would lead to true happiness. I was also worried that it would affect my members, so I told them first. I am very sorry to my fans, but I will repay you with hard work and promotions."
Congratulations, HyunA & E'Dawn!


Globo to Benneton—has produced a continuing stream of anti-racist messages: legitimating interracial romance and friendship, stigmatizing prejudice and discrimination, and fostering the hybridization of cultures and styles.
"others," also persist. Pick any relevant sociological indicator—life expectancy, infant mortality, literacy, access to health care, income level—and apply it in virtually any setting, global, regional, or local, and the results will be the same: the worldwide correlation of wealth and well-being with white skin and European descent, and of poverty and immiseration with dark skin and "otherness." Sure, there are exceptions: there are plenty of exploited white workers, plenty of white welfare mothers both urban and rural, plenty of poor whites throughout the world's North; and there are a smattering of wealth-holders "of color" around the world too. But these are outliers in the planetary correlation of darkness and poverty.


Artist Robert Rauschenberg has filed lawsuits against a Florida artist and art gallery that give new meaning to the phrase "one man's trash is another man's treasure."
The pattern is familiar: Artists move into blighted urban areas to rent affordable spaces where they can live, create and show their work. The art attracts visitors, who in turn attract cafes and other small businesses. Property values rise, developers take notice and soon the artists are priced out of a community they helped create.
It's a perennial paradox, but it's one that gallery owners and public officials are working to reconcile as they make plans for a diverse downtown where art has a permanent place.
"We have the best relationship now than we've had in the past 20 years with the city of Phoenix," says artist and activist Beatrice Moore, who owns a studio on Grand Avenue and rents several spaces to other artists.

Madurai Devendra called the victim to Juhu on July 23, 2014, and then stabbed him 18 times inside the car and dumped the body in Vidyanidhi Circle nearby, the CPP said.
A man was Monday sentenced to life imprisonment for stabbing another to death inside a car over a Rs 25 lakh loan he had given to the victim. Additional Sessions Judge Shyayana Patil sentenced Madurai Devendra to life imprisonment for killing Mani Devendra based on circumstantial evidence, including the blood-stained car and testimony of 23 witnesses, said Chief Public Prosecutor Jaisingh Desai.
He said Madurai Devendra had given Rs 25 lakh to Mani Devendra which the latter was unable to repay, following which the former killed him. Madurai Devendra called the victim to Juhu on July 23, 2014, and then stabbed him 18 times inside the car and dumped the body in Vidyanidhi Circle nearby, the CPP said.
The driver of the car, Parvesh Bhima Devendra, was also sentenced to five years in jail under Section 201 (causing disappearance of evidence of offence, or giving false information to screen offender) of the Indian Penal Code (IPC), he said. The driver washed off the blood stains in the car, thus causing the disappearance of evidence, CPP Desai said.

Death of Charlotte Shaw
"Charlotte Shaw" redirects here. For the women's rights campaigner, see Charlotte Payne-Townshend.
Dartmoor, Devon, United Kingdom
Narrative verdict
Charlotte Shaw was a fourteen-year-old British schoolgirl who drowned while crossing a swollen stream on Dartmoor while training for Ten Tors in 2007. Her death, the first to occur in connection with Ten Tors or one of its training expeditions, made national news headlines in the United Kingdom. She was with a group of students from Edgehill College trekking the route of Ten Tors in training for the main event when the group got into difficulties crossing a stream. Shaw slipped into the water and was washed downstream. She was located 20 minutes later by a Royal Navy search and rescue helicopter and airlifted to Derriford Hospital in Plymouth, where she died in the early hours of the next morning.
A police investigation concluded that nobody should be held criminally responsible for Shaw's death. The investigation was later criticised by the coroner, who adjourned the inquest and recommended that the Crown Prosecution Service (CPS) reconsider the possibility of criminal charges. Three months later, however, the CPS reported that there was insufficient evidence to press charges and the inquest was resumed. After hearing testimony from eyewitnesses, including other members of Shaw's group, the inquest concluded with a narrative verdict in October 2010. In addition to the verdict, the coroner gave several recommendations for future activities of a similar nature. Among the recommendations were suggestions that both participants and the adult "team leaders" should receive better training.
On the same day Shaw died, 26 other participants had to be airlifted from the moor. The British Army, which organises Ten Tors, initially stated that the event would proceed as planned. However, in the light of severe weather and Shaw's death, it was abandoned halfway through. The rules for the event were modified before the 2007 event to allow teams to carry a mobile telephone for use in case of an emergency.
2 Death
3 Aftermath
4 Inquest
Walla Brook, in which Shaw drowned, at its normal water level.
Ten Tors is an annual event organised by the British Army in which groups of young people, between the ages of 14 and 20, trek a route of 35, 45 or 55 miles (depending on the age of the participant) across Dartmoor.[1] The event started in 1960 with just over 200 teenagers taking part and has grown to include 2,400 teenagers from schools and youth organisations, mostly from the United Kingdom. The number of participants is capped at 2,400—400 groups of six—to minimise damage to the environment caused by the event.[2] Participants start from the British Army training camp at Okehampton and are required to carry all their supplies for the trek and spend one night in a tent on the moor.[3] Shaw's group, on a training expedition with dozens of other groups ahead of the main event, was accompanied by a teacher from Edgehill College designated the "team manager". All team managers undergo compulsory training, run by the Army and the Dartmoor Rescue Group, which involves trekking the route themselves.[4][5]
Charlotte Shaw was a 14-year-old from Frithelstock, near Great Torrington, Devon.[6] She was a student at Edgehill College, Bideford (Kingsley School since 2009), where she was involved in various sporting activities run by the school, including captaining its netball and gymnastics teams. Shortly after Shaw's death was announced, the school released a statement in which it said "We are all shocked by the tragedy. [Shaw] was a delightful member of our school community".[7] Shaw was part of a group of 10 students from Edgehill who, along with 84 other groups, were training on 4 March 2007 for Ten Tors, which is held every May. Her death is believed to be the first to occur during, or training for, Ten Tors.[8][9]
Dartmoor is notorious for its rapidly changeable weather.[1] Weather conditions on 4 March 2007 were poor—described by a member of the Dartmoor Rescue Group as "atrocious"[10] —and there had been heavy rain in the 12 hours prior to the accident, causing rivers and streams on Dartmoor to swell much higher than their normal levels.[7] On the same day, 26 other teenagers had to be airlifted from the moor due to the adverse weather.[8]
A Royal Navy search and rescue Sea King, similar to the one used in the opeartion to rescue Shaw.
During the training expedition, Shaw's group came to Walla Brook at a crossing near Watern Tor in the north-east of Dartmoor. According to evidence given at Shaw's inquest in 2009, the group believed they had to cross because the alternative route would add at least four miles to the trek. Another member of the group got into difficulties crossing the stream, which, due to heavy rain, had swollen to approximately five times its normal size.[11] The other group member removed her rucksack and passed it to Shaw. As Shaw, the last member of the group on her side of the stream, was throwing the rucksack across, she slipped and fell into the water.[12]
Shaw was knocked unconscious and swept downstream. A third member of the group raised the alarm by mobile telephone by 14:05 (GMT), less than five minutes after Shaw had been swept away, and Devon and Cornwall Police, a Royal Navy helicopter and the Dartmoor Rescue Group were mobilised to search for Shaw.[7][13] Believing that the weather conditions may be too bad for the helicopter to fly, members of the Dartmoor Rescue Group—a volunteer organisation which co-ordiantes the four separate charities who undertake search and rescue operations on Dartmoor[14]—set out on foot in an attempt to reach the scene of the accident.[10]
Shaw was found by the Royal Navy helicopter, approximately 20 minutes after the alarm was raised, 150 metres downstream from where she had fallen in. Due to poor visibility as a result of heavy rain, the other members of her group had been unable to see her. The helicopter, from RNAS Culdrose, airlifted Shaw to Derriford Hospital in Plymouth, but she died in the early of hours of 5 March.[7][13] The cause of death was later established as cardiac arrest as a result of drowning.[15]
Devon and Cornwall Police launched an investigation into the accident, saying in a statement, "There is absolutely no suggestion at all of wrongdoing. The police are here to fully investigate the circumstances and report them to the coroner."[8] An inquest was opened and, three weeks later, the police investigation concluded that nobody should face criminal charges as a result of the accident. Shaw's funeral was held in Bideford Methodist Church on 21 March 2007 and was attended by hundreds of mourners.[16]
The Army said in a statement that it had no plans to cancel the 2007 Ten Tors event,[6] however the event was abandoned halfway through due to "deteriorating weather conditions". A spokesman for the Dartmoor Rescue Group said that Shaw's death, which occurred in similar conditions, was a factor in the decision.[17] For the first time, participants were allowed to carry one mobile telephone per group for use in an emergency. The Edgehill College team had been given special dispensation to enter a larger-than-normal team for the event in order to allow all the participants of the expedition on which Shaw died to take part.[2][18] In light of Shaw's death, the North Dartmoor Search and Rescue Team, one of four teams working under the umbrella organisation Dartmoor Rescue Group, developed a capability to conduct rescues from fast-flowing water, known as "swift-water" rescues.[19]
An inquest into Shaw's death commenced in Exeter shortly after her death was reported to the coroner. The inquest heard evidence in late 2009, among which was eyewitness testimony that the team manager, a teacher from Edgehill College, had met with the group the morning of Shaw's death. During the meeting, the group asked to end the training hike early, but they were instructed by the teacher to carry on.[12][20] However the group's navigator gave evidence that she and Shaw had been happy to continue the expedition.[21] The possibility was also raised by other group members that the group was under-prepared for the conditions they faced. The group member whose bag Shaw had been attempting to throw across the stream told the coroner "We were not told how to cross swollen rivers. We were told how to check how deep it was but we were never told how to cross them. Nobody ever talked to us about using ropes".[12]
The inquest was adjourned in December 2010, as the coroner, Elizabeth Earland, recommended that the Crown Prosecution Service (CPS) reconsider criminal charges in the case. The CPS completed its review in April 2010 and concluded that there was insuffient evidence to pursue a criminal case.[21] Devon and Cornwall Police were criticised by the coroner for their handling of the investigation, particularly regarding contradictory testimony by eyewitnesses. The force voluntarily referred the case to the Independent Police Complaints Commission (IPCC) after the coroner's comments in December 2009, but, in January 2010, the IPCC decided not to open its own inquiry.[22] A solicitor representing Shaw's family said in a statement that "No-one wanted criminal proceedings", but indicated that the family planned to take civil proceedings against Edgehill College for negligence.[5]
The inquest concluded in October 2010. Earland, the Exeter and Greater Devon Coroner, recorded a narrative verdict and came up with several recommendations. Among the recommendations were that Ten Tors participants should undergo more than two training expeditions prior to the main event, that the team managers attain recognised qualifications and that the Health and Safety Executive ensure that independent schools adhere to the same safety standards as state schools. She went on to say that "It would be a tragedy if [Ten Tors] was to stop but the public need to be satisfied it is as safe as it reasonable can be, bearing in mind it is what it says, a challenge, not a survival exercise." After the inquest, Shaw's mother stated that she had been helped by the inquest, saying "I have found out the facts and I'm grateful for that but I am still looking for accountability and some kind of apology and acknowledgement".[23]

Everything Everywhere, the UK's biggest communications company, today revealed that many Brits will be using their mobile devices to follow sporting and cultural events this year. Nearly half (46%) of online UK adults have used or plan to use their mobile phones to follow events by browsing the internet for news, results or following live scores this year*. Nearly a third (32%) say they have used their tablet or smartphone to watch live sport, according to independent YouGov research² commissioned by Everything Everywhere¹.
With the Euro 2012 final this past weekend, football has been particularly popular. Nearly one third (31%) of UK adults and 42% of men say they have used their smartphone to follow Euro 2012 this year, through browsing the internet for results or following live scores and news feeds. Over a fifth (22%) of men have also used their phone to watch recorded video clips or live coverage of the competition.
The survey found that as the UK enters a jam-packed summer of events, Britons won't let work get in the way of their favourite past time. Nearly one fifth (18%) of UK adults admit that they have watched or followed a major sporting event at work without their employer's consent. Men are the guiltiest of this, with a quarter admitting to watching sport at work under the radar. Going some way to avoid this, 10% of employees say they are being allowed to view national sporting events which take place during working hours.
Of those who will be working from home this summer, nearly one quarter (23%) will be doing more than usual. Despite being a stone's throw away from their TVs or PCs, nearly one third (29%) of respondents said that they are most likely to use their mobile device to watch or follow events while at home this year. Twenty six percent are most likely to do this while travelling.
Activity isn't limited to downloading or streaming content. Some 23% of UK adults say that they have used their mobile phone to upload images or video to social networking sites when attending events, such as musical festivals or sport. This is particularly common with younger generations; a whopping 38% of 18 – 24 year olds and 37% of 25 – 34 year olds say they upload images when out and about at events.
David Salam, Director of Network Strategy, Architecture and Design, Everything Everywhere, said: "As the summer of sport heats up, people will be trying to follow events wherever and whenever they can. Despite England's defeat, even the Euro 2012 final was widely watched around the country and is just one of many events this summer to put pressure on mobile networks. Thanks to the integration of our T-Mobile and Orange networks, Everything Everywhere customers have experienced an average 14% increase in 3G coverage. This gives them have access to the widest 2G and 3G network in the UK so will they be able to keep tabs on the sport in more places, more of the time."
As more and more data is downloaded and shared across the UK, Everything Everywhere is investing £1.5bn in the network over the next three years, and plans to roll out next generation 4G in the UK this year, subject to Ofcom approval. With the completion of Smart Signal Share and the launch of 50% faster 3G speeds through the rollout of HSPA+21, customers are able to browse the internet, access social networks and stream video faster and in more places than ever before.
All figures, unless otherwise stated, are from YouGov Plc. Total sample size was 2156 adults. Fieldwork was undertaken between 20 and 22 June 2012. The survey was carried out online. The figures have been weighted and are representative of all GB adults (aged 18+).
